How deep is the insert? A review for the less expensive All-Clad pasta pot mentions that the insert only goes partway into the pan, so doesn't fit as much pasta as you would expect. Wondering if this is the same insert, or a deeper one?

BEST ANSWER:Bottom of insert is about 1.25-1.5" from bottom of pan. Maximum usable part of insert is about 7" deep.As you can see from the picture it come up above the pot quite a bit (~1.125") limiting how much water you can boil.
